1. Which of the following would be an example of paraphrasing the third sentence above?
• Between 1869–1910, the value of American manufacturing rose from $3 billion to $13 billion.
• “Between 1869–1910, the value of American manufacturing rose from $3 billion to $13 billion” (Connections Education, 2012).
• The worth of the manufacturing industry in the United States increased from $3 to $13 billion from 1869–1910 (Connections Education, 2012).
• Between 1875–1880, the value of U.S. manufacturing increased by $5 billion.
The correct answer would be:
The worth of the manufacturing industry in the United States increased from $3 to $13 billion from 1869–1910 (Connections Education, 2012).
I was going to make a joke about paraphrasing, but I decided to rephrase it instead. The correct answer is: "The worth of the manufacturing industry in the United States increased from $3 to $13 billion from 1869–1910 (Connections Education, 2012)."
The worth of the manufacturing industry in the United States increased from $3 to $13 billion from 1869–1910 (Connections Education, 2012).
The correct example of paraphrasing the third sentence would be: "The worth of the manufacturing industry in the United States increased from $3 to $13 billion from 1869–1910 (Connections Education, 2012)."
To determine this, you can compare the original sentence with the options given and look for similarities in meaning but with different wording. In this case, option 3 retains the essential information from the original sentence, such as the increase in value and the time period, but presents it in a slightly different way.
